congratulations to all seniors my name
is Dan Candela and I'm certified
hypnotist stage hypnotist and
hypnotherapist I've been doing this for
about 14 years and have hypnotized over
65,000 people I actually started really
early on when I was about 13 or 14 years
old I actually had a learning disability
and I couldn't comprehend what I was
reading I couldn't focus or concentrate
so I saw hypnotist when I was on a
family vacation he did exactly what I do
now where he hypnotized about 20-25
people on stage had him do a bunch of
crazy things and my parents found out
that I was interested in it so he got
home from that vacation they bought me a
book and something amazing had happened
I read that book and up until that point
it was the only book that I read and
understood everything about it and I
started actually hypnotizing my friends
in school hypnotizing myself to get
better grades using self-hypnosis
I actually got over my learning
disability using hypnosis and now I
teach other students exactly how to do
the same thing and get better grades
using this tool called hypnosis so it's
pretty neat definitely start off reading
as much as you can about it avoid
learning from YouTube videos because
there's a lot of misinformation out
there and the one thing I would tell
people is that hypnosis is not mind
control it may look like it on stage but
hypnosis is more processed by which you
help people relax out their inhibitions
and you help teach them how to take
control in a therapeutic setting we're
on stage it's more to have fun to relax
those inhibitions where they're very
aware of what they're doing they're just
so relaxed they don't really care what
they're doing and it's all about helping
people have fun I did not believe in
hypnotism but
after tonight in the videos I've seen I
don't know it might be real thick it is
I kind of believed in it but like I
didn't really know if it would work on
me because I've like heard that like it
only worked in like certain people so I
was a little like what if it doesn't
work on me no I did not not at all I
thought it was all a word I shouldn't
say on the video camera for school I
mean I guess it works on Shawn yeah I
gave CPR to her squirrel that wasn't
there I remember like smelling someone's
hair or Emily's hair cuz I thought she
smell really good I'm cry because he
took my bellybutton away the dance at
the end that was my favorite Last Man
Standing it was terrifying the PHS music
department choir band and orchestra were
invited to perform at Disney Resort last
month let's hear more about the
performances workshops as well as all
the fun the students had on and off
stage hi I'm Steven and this is Disney
behind the scenes
[Music]
favorite part of Disney had to probably
go down to the food the food was really
good I had some sort of like mac and
cheese cheeseburger thing it was so good
I don't even know what was in it but it
was so good my favorite thing about the
trip was probably the performance it was
a great experience to be able to play
out in Downtown Disney and have all the
people walk by and stop to listen to us
I just loved spending the time with the
orchestra all my orchestra friends and
being able to bond and make new friends
with the band members and the choir
members my favorite thing about the trip
was just being in Disney and having the
Disney experience of like going to Epcot
and going on all the rides and going
like each country and eating like German
food or having gelato in Italy like
gelato is so good just the whole
experience was just astounding for me
[Music]
the workshop is pretty cool pretty fun
it was set up just like a normal room
for the band to fit in and it had
microphones up in the ceiling and we
pretty much just played to Disney music
we started off with really simple stuff
got our way to harder stuff and then by
the end we played
[Music]
a Disney track - like the movie so we
recorded it and then they put the track
that we just recorded - the actual
footage which was really cool the
clinician guy I don't remember his name
he's a pretty cool dude it's really good
at saxophone I had a lot of good
examples on how to do things and whatnot
showed us a lot about what it would be
like to be a Disney musician and all
that stuff the workshop was a great
experience we played some pieces from
Tarzan Ariel and then Pocahontas the guy
that taught us and conducted us was an
experienced saxophone player in a Disney
quartet so he gave us a ton of tips for
us to help play better as a whole he
gave us all some like dynamic tips and
intonation and we had like a whole list
of things we need to improve on which we
didn't prove on by the end of the
workshop the workshop was basically we
would do sound effects and then all the
sound effects that we compiled would be
put under a lion king like video so all
the sound effects that would be in the
Lion King would be made by us like
waterfalls stomping
cackling they'll be made by us another
key we learned was when we're singing we
should keep her mouth movin so phonation
and diction will be able to be heard and
so we don't like mumble our words for
the workshop I was in the percussion
section and he didn't really work with
us a lot so I don't personally feel like
I learned anything but the video that we
got out of it was kind of cool we
watched it later in class and the
clarinets kind of overpowered everyone
else because they were by them like but
other than that it was pretty cool it
was interesting to see the music set
with the video
[Music]
you
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
my favorite ride was probably the
Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom
I've never been on it before and it was
a really fun roller coaster we went on
it twice and my favorite part about it
was probably when it started going
backwards in the pitch-black test track
because it had to do with Chevy Chevy is
my favorite continent so I'm being very
biased favorite ride is probably Tower
of Terror it's just really fun and the
people that work there we're interesting
to hear I was test track and Epcot
because I just love cars and I like to
go fast and when you go fast just fun
than going outside it was just great
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
torch-lite a mobile app designed by for
female students involved in the Robotics
Club at Pembroke high school the app was
designed in order to provide emotional
support to the varied demographics with
mental or physical illnesses those
dealing with illnesses do not always
want to join an actual support group or
they might even be uncomfortable with a
conventional therapy so the app features
a monitored feed safe chat discussions
hotline resources and an option to
submit media the need for this app came
to fruition through the girls
volunteerism at magical moon Foundation
which provides support to the children
with life-threatening illnesses and is
based out of Marshfield
the students have a connection to the
foundation and hope to use their skills
to try to aid those in need
so our app torchlight was created to
help people with mental and physical
illnesses that needed around-the-clock
support we got our idea off of the
magical moon foundation farm it's a
place of safety when someone comes
through this door I immediately greet
them with welcome to magical moon farm
you're in a place of magic and anything
can happen here so the children that
come here are usually dissociating from
trauma and this is the perfect safe
environment for them to just relax and
unwind and also process some of the the
trauma that they're going through so we
were in a Kelly and I were in a computer
science class for a first semester of
school and we fell in love with the
computer work and this group came to us
with a club idea so we sat down at lunch
one day with the signup table and tried
to recruit people and we got my friend
Sam and Lauren then from there we had
both weekly meetings and B started to
come up with ideas on how we want to
progress with this these girls I'm so
proud of them first of all they came in
as interns and they were working
alongside children that have problems
some of them some don't a lot of kids
come here just doing community service
but we often find that we all have
issues that we need to work on
and I think after a year's time they
started to realize how much they were
getting out of it even though they came
with the intention to reach out to
someone else we wanted to make the app
so that once you leave a place like that
somewhere that has so much positive
energy you can still be connected
whenever you want to be there was a real
need for that connection beyond magical
moon farm and if the girls get to do
this it's wonderful lots for us here
because we can I can say to them will go
to torchlight and you'll have an
opportunity to talk to other kids that
are going through what you're doing what
you're going through and and there'll be
avenues to get more help it's a
wonderful idea we wanted to use the
magic alone Foundation as our pilot
group so they would essentially look at
the app tell us what they think about it
and then they send it back to us we
develop it more and eventually sent it
to health care providers or health
insurance or hospitals so health care
companies and insurance companies are
considering these telemedicine options
with care for people if they service so
this air focuses on that area that these
companies are looking for the children
that we have here come with all kinds of
issues but they all have a common
denominator and they need to be safe and
they need to have friends and they need
to be in a place that helps them process
what they're going through so they don't
want to be seen as sick as many people
that are sick don't want to be seen as
just an illness they want to be seen as
more of a person so in a year from now
what we hope to have is a very strong
very diverse community of many people
that can come together and share their
stories and don't feel victimized or
like they have their there because of
their illness so we have the four tabs
which at the moment are called feed chat
submit and hotline and those are the
four main options we were kind of
surprised that there weren't many apps
like ours on if you want on the app
Saur google play you won't find a lot of
apps that were similar to that and i
think that's because it's kind of a hard
it's difficult to make this concept of
reality to make a really safe
environment but we're putting all our
effort into it so I think that with a
lot of hard work we can get this app off
the ground we figured that anyone would
need a place to go where they feel safe
and where they feel like they're not
alone I see the kids out there right now
it's whenever they're here they laugh
they smile they laugh they're positive
they are empowered and this app has the
opportunity to do the same
mais artist spotlight took a close look
at Hannah Higgins work she is a senior
here at Pembroke high school
take a look while she shares with us her
passion for the Arts
[Music]
I'm Kayla and I'm seeing her a pencil I
really like art up here all day
basically well I got started in the art
department
Harley engineering year I would say
that's actually when I first got into it
but I didn't really like it
until my friend she she actually told me
my art was pretty decent I like that you
you can do anything with are that you
can paint what paintings look in your
hands dirty you can work with with clay
and sculptures and stuff it's just it
it's relaxing the classes I've taken
studio art and portfolio a little bit of
Aging
so when I win it but I kind of
downloaded all of them I try to be up
here logs my favorite art class would be
a studio art because you actually do
everything unlike ceramics we just got
to work with clay which he did one day
sketching the bags with paint so you get
to experience in the future probably and
to do something with animal sciences but
I want a minor in art maybe like an art
director
because I actually like to write - so
I'm gonna be all over the place
well I'm one of the projects actually
that I'm working on right now is you
have to take a tree and have to use the
boots and you need a draw you have to
try to incorporate something with boots
and like put negatives like the negative
space you got to fill it in so I have a
instead of antlers I thought oh my dear
you can make a tree like come out and we
fell off the page I'm gonna do
watercolor I have a bunch of color to it
and it's just thinking of springtime
because you manage winter a way to them
I love the snow I'm like we need
something that's great and Sherry's like
no and we're gonna do a deer deer with
some flowers some cherry blossoms I'm
gonna paint it to maybe a little bit of
some engine and yeah watercolor like
definitely all right so for another
project is on scratch board which I mean
it's pretty annoying because the sound
bites are like taking an exacto knife
and we were supposed to create some type
of still life so either a living thing
or still life so I made the cat and it's
actually my cat that's kind of where I
got the inspiration from because we had
to for recently so I kind of mr. my
thumb moved a little mementos
yeah with bookend proms here at PHS MJ
pulled the high school to see how
students really feel about this timeless
tradition the dresses the flowers the
proposals and all that jazz
[Music]
[Applause]
back in the library today with a Joe
Connelly Joe how are you doing today I'm
well how are you good thank you sorry
wrote your recent loss in senior
assassin yep
died first day you know rookie alright
so let's talk a little bit about prom
first question what are you thoughts
about prom in general it's a pretty good
experience alright welcome to Davis
vasconcelos back to the show today Dave
don't worry today I'm great dandy how
you doing in senior sass and so far I
haven't killed anyone but I'm still
alive better than Joe call me you know
you're dead all right so what are you
general thoughts on prom it's a great
fun for the boys and girls of Pembroke
high school a great social event
everyone just has a great time it's a
waste of money though
generally I'm not the biggest fan of
prom however I do understand why people
get excited you know it's a formal event
you're getting all dressy hang out with
your friends pictures are always a plus
I guess Instagram the more posts the
better
so generally dislike but for the
well-being of the general crowd I'd say
it's a it's two thumbs up for everyone
else
well I think prom is very important
especially for seniors because it's a
good social environment people are
dressed up nice you get to schmooze on
the dance floor
you gonna walk around talk you know be
with friends have a good time I mean
it's all right it's what it's all right
it's fine it's fine it's fine okay I
like it it's always a great time
everybody's having fun everybody looks
great I love it
that's all I have to say all right so
I'm personally what's your favorite part
of the prom experience I like I like
eating food and I like dancing with all
the great people I like
friends just the whole problem itself is
pretty fun what do you like best
pictures promenade the prom dancing
afterwards what the food what's up yeah
the food's pretty good pretty good where
was it this year
no idea that's good Long Wharf Marriott
in Boston is actually the correct answer
my favorite part probably taking the
buses there they're really comfy and you
know music music I I like the whole
thing mainly dancing Nancy's pretty fun
personally my favorite part of prom
would have to be the suits and tuxes I
like dressing up like a high-class man
there you go I can see you as one of
those guys that you know talks everyday
going to wear kind of thing you know I'd
like to be that someday probably
pictures cuz we're all looking dapper
you know just hanging out nice weather
smiling having a great time I think
however like you know I don't really
like it too much if when I do attend
because everyone attends problem
apparently my favorite experience is
probably the hype right before dismissal
because you know you have so many
administrators just kind of like going
about like who's actually going to prom
and who's not going to prom and do guys
really need all this time to get ready
probably not but they need a phat nap
beforehand because they're gonna be
dancing way too hard you need all the
energy you can get what's your favorite
song to dance to whether it be you know
slow dance or upbeat your option well
the thing is I like the dance really
fast too slow music a little awkward
yeah people people people seem to react
well or that they get on the dance floor
after I usually try to initiate and
people follow up uh not really like come
on yeah you like the djs they do a
pretty good job last year
no that's you know they were bad alright
well maybe we can get that better this
year what really kind of like gets me in
the mood and like the grind at prom you
know you're all sweaty you're dancing
really hard sometimes this like a grind
feel going on you just need that slow
song and like that number one request I
would have to say as the cha-cha slide
easily hands down the best slow song I
don't know I like the cotton eyed Joe a
lot oh okay that's a good I could feel
that yeah there's a lot of good ones I
probably couldn't pick one if you had to
pick one what would you pick I don't
know I really don't have a favorite
maybe some Kesha alright we'll take that
we'll take an artist there were some
advance to probably uh probably uh
probably uptown funk you know uptown
funk you up uptown funk you up what's
new pussycat a good one but also
sometimes if the safety dance comes on
what are you thoughts on promposals how
do you fear about feel about them
some of them mmm I don't know you know
some people go all out with promposals
but I'd probably be more casual a lot of
people I remember someone last year
through a rose down on the projector
screen and said Rama crossing and then
another one just gave someone a coffee
with the road prom on it so you know it
varies but you know do you do be who you
want to be that's good advice great life
advice promposals are the most
ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my
entire life I understand how you want to
make it like a big like big deal but I
believe that a girl should be proposed
to once in their life and a man you can
be proposed to as well but like I said
it should be once in your like when you
were getting married the prom
you know just shoot him a text like yo
go to prom with me winky face I wish it
was that easy you know not a fan not a
fan a proposal
awkward awkward okay I could I could
agree with that I second that
I think it depends on the person like I
personally didn't do a promposal this
year but I think if they're out of your
league you probably should because
otherwise you probably have a chance you
know they're fine they're did you
propose this year not yet not not yet do
you plan on it
possible yeah it's up there they're
overrated
overrated did you prom pose issue I did
not
I didn't personally I didn't do anything
too special I just I got a subway sub
and I wrote prom on it
I hope she likes it I know you know I
she's awesome so glad to hear bill
congrats on that so last question today
is gonna be a trivia question what do
you think is the average amount of money
you spent on a progress each year
probably about 300 guys alright Joe
thanks your time today thank you for
1,200 $12 yep
say 200 to 300 dollars give me an exact
year three hundred and fifty-two dollars
that is not between 200 and 300 but
thank you for your time today I've had
so many girls complain about the pricing
of dressing I'd say an average price is
like 300 but if you're me you're
spending $0 I just say like $300 I mean
at least a lot you still I never heard
that one before thanks your time today
Anthony it's a lot of money usually I
think 500 ish but uh I wish it would be
down because I feel bad it's a lot of
stress on the pants and the wallets you
know it really is alright well thanks
for time today Davis and have fun a prom
no problem see you guys then we're gonna
go turn up to the Sun up peace out who
doesn't want to know what Anthony Jones
favorite high school memory was here is
the man we will all miss with the final
episode of 30 seconds with Anthony
personally I feel as though to be honest
well when I was just a wee lad pull that
thing up I don't want those you know so
today on my little 30-second segment I'm
gonna talk about one of my favorite
moments in my 12 years of education back
in middle school I was in drama with a
view of the kids and one student I made
pee himself that student would be Austin
Leblanc
the way I made him pee himself I made
him laugh so hard he lost it
I was saying thriller really loud he
told me to stop I didn't I was singing
thriller really loud he told me to stop
I didn't thanks for tuning in to this
